HOW CITIES ROB YOU

This shocking commentary from the Georgia $peedingTICKETKILLER.com will NOT only shock you, but should convince you beyond any doubt that the cities and counties across Georgia are NOT in it for highway safety, but instead, revenue enhancement. The following comes directly from our CFR Defense chapter.

It is NOT the scope of this webpage to explain our entire CFR Defense chapter in detail, but instead to give you an overview of the methods that cities and counties use to milk the public.

During ongoing research in advance of the actual writing of the Georgia $peedingTICKETKILLER system, the author sourced out as examples, several speed zones that have been “illegally” posted. These speed zones were included in the book to use as examples for readers to use to determine if similar circumstances might apply to them. We had no trouble finding several examples of city highway’s and school zone speed limits illegally posted with damning and convincing evidence of such.

This report details a road inside the city limits of Hiram where citizens are being illegally robbed everyday under the color of law. The road in this example is Nebo road. It extends 4.9 miles from State route 92 to Dallas Nebo road.

In Our CFR Defense chapter, we actually teach you how speed limits are supposed to be determined. Have you ever wondered why a road is posted at 40 mph versus say 45? How do they determine the need for the 5 MPH difference? That is all clearly explained in the Georgia $peedingTICKETKILER system. All speed limits in Georgia must be LEGALLY determined. The cities and counties just cannot make up some low number; post it, and then milk the public. Well, there not supposed to that is. As you will see, they do it anyway.

All roads that have been approved by the Georgia Department of Public Safety for speed enforcement by the use of radar, laser or VASCAR, must be included on an approved list of roads. This approved list is called and ON-SYSTEM / OFF-SYSTEM list of roads.

ON-SYSTEM lists of roads list all state highways and interstate highways, and OFF-SYSTEM lists of roads list all city and county roads. These list’s have the road names and the approved speed limits that have been lawfully determined (supposedly) by either the local authorities, your city mayors and city councils (OFF-SYSTEM), and or the state DOT (ON-SYSTEM).

Since Nebo road in Hiram is a city highway, it is listed on the OFF-SYSTEM list of roads approved by the Georgia Department of Public Safety for speed detection device usage, with the lawfully determined speed limit that may be enforced by the city of Hiram police department listed on it.

The speed limit for Nebo road was previously determined by the Hiram city council by ordinance (law) in 2000. I obtained a recent copy of this ordinance and a copy of this OFF-SYSTEM list of roads from the city of Hiram police chief through the use of Georgia open records act, after they first initially refused to provide it to me. Copies of this request and replies are of course included in the book as examples of how they stonewall.

Included on this webpage is a direct copy and paste of the city of Hiram’s speed detection device permit, which lawfully allows the city of Hiram to enforce a specific ordinance, which relates to the OFF-SYSTEM lists of roads.

The ordinance and or OFF-SYSTEM lists of roads list the lawfully posted speed limit for Nebo road as 50 MPH. 50 mph is the lawful speed limit for Nebo road as approved by the Hiram city council, and allowed by the Georgia Department of Public Safety for enforcement with speed detection devices.

Unfortunately, as you will notice in the picture provided, all the speed limit signs placed on both sides of Nebo road for the entire 4.9 miles are labeled at 45 mph, NOT 50 mph.

This folks is how the cities milk the public. First of all, you cannot be guilty of violating the edict of an illegally posted traffic control device (sign). You can only be found guilty of violating a lawful ordinance. In this case, the lawful ordinance is 50 MPH, not 45. Since the city of Hiram police officers (like all city officers) are prohibited by Georgia law OCGA 40-14-8 from issuing tickets until you have exceeded the posted speed limit by 11 mph or greater, then the city of Hiram police should not be issuing tickets on Nebo road until you are doing 61 MPH or greater. 50 mph + 11 = 61. However, they routinely write citations for 56,57,58,59, and 60 MPH.

This is blatant robbery without question since the city of Hiram police should never be issuing citations for any charges less than 61 mph. It also places people who are cited with certain speeds into a higher penalty bracket than they would otherwise be fined if the speed limit signs were actually correctly posted at 50 MPH instead of 45. This is two ways they milk the public.

I have found numerous examples of such, including school zones that have been illegally posted and all are included in the Georgia $peedingTICKETKILLER CFR Defense chapter.

CFR stands for Code of Federal Regulations because believe it or not, ALL traffic control devices NATIONWIDE (which includes speed limit signs) are under FEDERAL controlling authority. Do not believe us? Check out the following link for yourself.

Since the United States Constitution requires that ALL laws be fact based, those phony 45 mph signs on Nebo road denies due process under the United States Constitution.

The really funny, or should I say tragic part is, the city of Hiram OFF-SYSTEM lists of roads as provided by the Georgia Department of Public safety even states that the city of Hiram is responsible for posting the correct signs.

They never did. Why? First, it costs a lot of money, then how would they milk the public? The city of Hiram will probably state this was a mistake or simple oversight. You mean like somebody speeding? Think that excuse would work in court?

What is to keep the city of Hiram from simply revising their ordinance to state 45? The city of Hiram would have to employ the services of a qualified traffic engineer who could lawfully determine that 45 mph would be the correct speed limit appropriate for that road based on FEDERAL guidelines from the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

If they cannot do it, I suggest they change all the signs to 50, and apologize to the public for their actions and refund all the stolen money. Think they will? Stop laughing!

These are the types of carnivores you will go up against in most Georgia traffic courts. The Hiram city council, the mayor, the judge, the police chief and the cops writing the tickets are all in collusion together on this.

Surely the city of Hiram municipal court judge would not state he has never seen an OFF-SYSTEM list of roads for Hiram and has never found guilty a person charged with exceeding 45 MPH on Nebo road. Do you believe that?

To make matters worse, I routinely run (jog) late at night on Nebo road and almost every Friday and Saturday night see the city of Hiram PD set up in the pitch-black dark at 1AM in the morning running radar. This is in direct violation of Georgia law as well since he is hidden in the pitch-black dark with patrol car lights turned off.

The preceding report is but a small example of what the Georgia $peeding TICKERKILLER CFR Defense chapter is all about.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER

The author of the Georgia $peedingTICKETKILLER is willing to testify under oath under the penalty of perjury that the following information on this webpage is a direct copy and paste unaltered in anyway from the actual documents provided to said author from the city of Hiram PD June 2005.

Below is a copy and paste from the city of Hiram Ordinance # 50-10-00 which clearly shows the posted speed limit on Nebo road to be 50 MPH. NOTE: signs to be erected by the city of Hiram.

Below is a picture of one of the 45 MPH signs posted on Nebo road heading EAST. Actually, this sign is posted right outside the subdivision where the city of Hiram municipal court judge lives. Therefore, the judge cannot claim he does not know any better. He drives by it everyday.

Below you will see a copy of the City of Hiram’s speed detection device permit. Note this permit, which is currently valid until 12/31//2008, renewed just this very year, references ordinance # 5-10-00. Therefore, the ONLY valid speed that can be lawfully enforced on Nebo road is 50 mph, not the 45 as posted on the signs.

Since no Georgia citizen would have a clue about any of this, they get away with. Not even lawyers know about this CFR Defense as I developed it as a new defense for the Georgia $peedingTICKETKILLER system.

I developed it for you to use to educate yourself and fight back against these crooks robbing you under the color of law. Robbing you, when they are supposed to be protecting you.

As you can see, traffic speed enforcement is NOT about highway safety, it is about raising revenue for the cities and counties that enforce these unlawful speed limits.
